Feature: allow the export of data from query

[gabrielcsapo]

👋 it would be great if we could use the data from the query to export it the clipboard or the file api. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File.

Would this be a feature that would be of interest? I am using graphiql in a project and loving it so far!

hey there! that makes sense as a plugin for sure! we are probably going to move our existing copy to clipboard capability to a plugin here soon, so the idea to copy either to clipboard makes sense. none of the new FS APIs are for writing data to/reading from disk (unless I'm mistaken), so are you saying you want to export a graphql operation results to file? there are other ways to do that as well!

@acao awesome! I meant more about creating a file that could be downloaded by a user. Is there a way to do download the data from the UI right now?

@acao , I love the feature of exporting GraphQl operation and tabs to file or syncing it to google drive if I logged in with Google.

• Is this right to discuss it here?
• If can I would like to get involved in developing the feature too.

@manh-vv we should have discussion issues for all of these things, I'll set that all up soon and we can begin to concentrate the discussions better!
